Re: [RPG]: Cyradon, reviewed by allenrmaher (5/5)

While the maps do look nice, both the Cyradon map and the world map suffer from "the tyrrany of the ledger sheet". I.e., the artist has a 17 × 11 sheet and uses it to the full, letting the main land masses fill up this sheet with little empty space around. It is a quite common phenomenon for RPG maps -- you see it on the maps for Talislanta, Harn, Greyhawk, and many others, and I doubt the artists are aware of doing it. Also, it may in part be governed by reluctance to "waste" big parts of the map by having nothing there.
